How we handle new build mastic in Harcourt Hill
For builders and developers, we work through plots to the schedule you give us. Bathrooms, en suites, kitchens, frames and skirting are sealed ready for handover. We work on skirting & floors, bathrooms & en suites and windows & doors, and the jobs we see most are beads laid onto grit and dust from the build and messy sealant that spoils new finishes.
Around Harcourt Hill, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, and the area is left clean. Somewhere as small as Harcourt Hill, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Questions from Harcourt Hill
Do you work for landlords with property near Oxford station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Harcourt Hill?
Yes. Harcourt Hill is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we’ll quote it together.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.

Signs you need new build mastic in Harcourt Hill
Fresh sealant can be knocked or cut by trades finishing off. If it’s disturbed before curing, the joint can be left weak and it shows once the home is in use.
People usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Sealant that never bonded to the surface
- Cracked sealant around new window and door frames
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
Around Harcourt Hill, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- The length of the guarantee
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- How long to leave it before use

Why deal with it now?
Sealant done properly at handover means fewer callbacks. Snagging visits for failed sealant cost time on every plot. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Harcourt Hill, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts.
